In what is being hailed as a major achievement for gay African Americans, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has invited Black LGBT activist Keith Boykin to speak at this weekend's Millions More March in Washington.

Boykin is the President of the National Black Justice Committee. The group has been critical of Farrakhan in the past for homophobic statements.

In preparing for the Millions More March Rev. Farrakhan reached out to gay African Americans saying they would be welcome, but the NBJC and other Black gay organizations threatened to hold their own rally saying they had been cut out of the planning process for Millions More. (story)
